basically I am bored, so telling stories, or you could say correcting them

ORIGINAL: geofflambert

I thought they outlawed "Dungeons and Dragons". Wait, we've got "Game of Thrones" now. My "game of thrones" consists of whether I need to sit on the one at the theatre after the movie, or make it to the one at the restaurant I'm going to next. Either way I always say:


Anaal nath rakh!
Oot vas bethut!
Doch iel dienvay!

Could you translate that?

I'm still trying to put together a mythological sorceress and a statue in New York harbor, but that's OK.

Look at the top of the statue,
the Greek Dress,
and defense of Independence.

Then look at the Medusa story where she defeated the wrong war king.
Then look at the poem about that statue, and see how it discusses those same themes.
And you can see the crown of her hair when you look at that statue also.

Then simply understand the idea of Liberty, as being free, and defending others right to be free, and you can understand the connection.

As Medusa was once wrongfully imprisoned light, she defends the liberty of light wrongly imprisoned, and much of war and tyranny is to try and wrongfully imprison those that speak in ideas of light. Or do you think after being wrongly attacked, Medusa was in the wrong and should be isolated and attacked?

The story you have been told about Medusa is War Propaganda. What did she do wrong?

And if that is not enough, the drawing by Di Vinci with the girl with the curly hair (snakes), that is Medusa also, although that is a longer story, and is one of those things you hear in stories about Pryors and ancient knowledge.

Or so the story goes.



And it is Ok, I agree, most agree.
And I think Medusa should be considered a Heroine not a villain,
as you would agree if you thought about the story.

(Note the story of Medusa also told in the Outerlimits Episode on that page.)

I hope you know it was a French sculpture. It's name is "Liberty Enlightening the World." There is a body of artistic conventions having to do with Phrygian liberty caps, etc., but I seriously doubt the artist and commissioning body had Medusa in mind.

We now return to your scheduled thread.

Glad to see you have watched Excalibur. A vastly underappreciated film, IMHO.

Do Gorns eat popcorn in the movies?

You'll have to ask Merlin that, maybe Medusa knows? It's from the movie Excalibur and it's the charm of making.

You presume the artist intent is the only factor,
often muse has something to say also.

That is a good movie.

I remember when that movie was in theaters.

I must certainly muse about this.

No, hot dogs without the bun. If we need more meat than that, we take one of the tasty little humans sitting around.

I will presume it is in support of my position, and that is also your position

[:)]

I did notice your words speak of Kirks actions, while you picture the Gorn,
and it was making, that was his success in that episode.


Comically, that is not the first time someone quoted a Merlin spell to me from that movie.


I would reply by commenting on part of the spirit of that telling of the story, note the comment from Merlin, where he discusses how Luther did not know his own heart, nor the heart of other people, in an early conversation between Arthur and Merlin.

That is from Sun Tzu, so there are also Eastern philosophies in that movie.

And why he used horses to help in the first siege battle
Horses are the symbol for angels*, since they were the servants to man for many years.
And what he says to them is something they don't explain in that film.

And towers are symbols of wizards power,
so he pulled down a tower, and the coarse of the battle changed.


A good film from the early 80s,
"A boy can be king", I remember that well.
Same thing said in Star Wars by Darth Vader at that time,
when they were first trying to turn Luke, "He is only a boy".

The fog in the movie, is the idea of how muse speaks through people in different context then the intent of the people writing, where it has to be seen blurry changing the context to hear the muse, or combining with many other comments.
If things are seen in a larger perspective, that is how it is possible to see in the fog.


*(note machine takes the same symbol after the industrial age,
or in some recent stories androids take that role in some stories)

I think my station is the next stop.

My comment does not say that I need an explanation.

However I do need a beer. [:)]
